Anyone ride in baggy knickers? If so, brands you like?

Shootingstar, I am wondering how you've managed to make friends with the center seam in your shorts--particularly for those looong rides.

I do ride my bikes where the saddle either has a centre hole / dip depression.
On lycra bottoms, it's less of a big deal. On non-lycra shorts, I'm pretty picky on how the seam is finished or the whole cut of the pant/shorts.

I received the Shebeest BoardRider Capri pants today. I really like the shell and will probably wear them without liner short just as capri's. They're really cute and have pockets, etc.

I am kind of down on the Triple S short chamois which is what these have, but will keep them anyway because it is the capri shell I wanted. I can use any chamois liner under them.

The Greta short I ordered is due later in the week. I also got the PI Elite baggy short but will be returning it if I like the Greta.

That is the current state of my shopping for bike shorts.

I have the PI Elite baggy short, and I do like them. I didn't notice the Greta short - that might be a good choice for when I am riding to the office - I do NOT want to wear spandex there

The Greta short came today and I love them!!!

I have the Zoic La Vida knickers and really like them! There are two snaps on the bottom so I can tighten them when I'm riding, and loosen them when I'm just walking around. The material is lightweight, and the liner is, well, Kick *** (that's the name of it, and it's very comfortable ). I wasn't sure what to do about the sizing, as my waist put me at a small, but my hips put me at a medium. I went with the medium, and haven't had an issue, as the waist has velcro straps that you can pull in to adjust the fit.



I also ordered the All Night Long shorts for when it gets a little warmer. I had tried on a pair and they're a little heavier-weight material than the La Vida's and have a lower cut waist. I went with the smalls on these. And I love the plaid, plaid, PLAID!

I love these, though am afraid of plaid

My problem is how I am built. Unlike most women, ALL of my weight is in my stomach, while everything is a lot smaller these days I still have that problem. There can be a full size difference between my stomach and hips Outside of being large busted I am built more like a man in that way.

Everything else is skinny

All of this leads to my question, on the shorts you have reported on, and the same for the Greta shorts if someone has experience with them. I do NOT want to get them to fit my stomach (I am extremely high-waisted which is why I am not referring to my waist) but to fit my legs. Do the waistband in these shorts provide enough give for this? I wear a medium in PI shorts (and their baggy shorts as well).

No-No, I like the looks of the La Vida. Are they a baggy type short or are they more fitted? Thanks.

This thread is costing me money! But I need new shorts, and I only ever wear baggy ones. And they are on sale, and super cute. New shorts justified, thanks for the tips ladies (I think I may order the baggy PIs too while I'm at it, I mean they are on sale and all).

I like the baggy PIs, just got a pair. I can only afford one more pair of shorts though so have to choose carefully - I also want a pair of bib-shorts

No-No - does the plaid shorts come with a front pocket down the leg? It looks like it. I am also considering getting a pair of inexpensive cargo shorts and wearing the liner from my PI shorts...
